After taking on two high-profile Hollywood projects last year with Allied and Assassin’s Creed, Marion Cotillard’s latest roles find her going back to her native country. After Ismael’s Ghosts opened Cannes this year, one of last year’s selections, Nicole Garcia’s From the Land of the Moon, arrives in limited U.S. theatrical release today and we’re pleased to debut an exclusive clip.
Set after World War II, the romantic drama follows the actress bound by a loveless and begins an affair. Also starring Louis Garrel and Álex Brendemühl, this clip, courtesy of Sundance Selects, finds the characters played by Cotillard and Garrel making a promise. Check out the exclusive preview below, along with the trailer.

While she recently opened Cannes with Ismael’s Ghosts, a Marion Cotillard-led feature from last year’s festival will now get a release next month. Nicole Garcia’s From the Land of the Moon is a period weepy, set after World War II, which follows the actress bound by a loveless and begins an affair. Also starring Louis Garrel and Álex Brendemühl, Sundance Selects has now released a new U.S. trailer.
We said in our review, “We haven’t even reached the midway point of this year’s Cannes Film Festival, but it’s probably safe to assume that Nicole Garcia’s From the Land of the Moon will be the least-ambitious film this year’s competition has to offer. Based on Sicilian author Melena Agus’ 2006 novella of the same name, it is a weepy Sunday matinee melodrama of the most run-of-the-mill variety, full of pretty people in pretty clothes feeling Big Emotions. A Tchaikovsky leitmotif reminds us of the protagonist’s wary heart. There are at least four shots of Marion Cotillard curled in a ball on the floor crying. You can probably see where this is going.”
Check out the trailer below.
Based on the international best-selling novel and starring Academy Award®-winner Marion Cotillard, From The Land Of The Moon is the story of a free-spirited woman fighting for passionate dreams of true love against all odds. Gabrielle (Cotillard) comes from a small village in the South of France at a a time when her dream of true love is considered scandalous, and even a sign of insanity. Her parents marry her to José (Àlex Brendemühl), an honest and loving Spanish farm worker who they think will make a respectable woman of her. Despite José’s devotion to her, Gabrielle vows that she will never love José and lives like a prisoner bound by the constraints of conventional post World War II society until the day she is sent away to a hospital in the Alps to heal her kidney stones. There she meets André Sauvage (Louis Garrel), a dashing injured veteran of the Indochinese War, who rekindles the passion buried inside her. She promises they will run away together, and André seems to share her desire. Will anyone dare rob her of her right to follow her dreams?
From the Land of the Moon opens on July 28.

Venerable filmmaker Nicole Garcia returns to the silver screen with From the Land of the Moon, an intense, profound and intimate character study that takes a candid exploration into the fragile mind of our protagonist.
Set in the 1950s, Marion Cotillard takes on the role of Gabrielle Rabascal, considered insane from those around her, including her parents, who wilfully encourage her to marry Spanish farmworker José (Alex Brendemuhl). Stating from the offset that she has no intention of ever loving her new husband, Gabrielle is eventually sent to a rehabilitation clinic in the Alps to help treat her kidney stones. It’s here she discovers the sensation of real love, as she falls for fellow patient, the lieutenant André Sauvage (Louis Garrel), with dreams of abandoning her loveless, isolated existence and starting afresh with the injured army veteran.
